pleased to see all three top-gallant
masts 60 over the side, for the weight
of the yards. swaying to and fro at
great angles, was too much for the
lowcr-ma,ts, and not only strained the
decks, but the planking to which the

My great anxiety now was for the
foretop-mast. which was sustaining the
weight of the broken mast and yard, in
addition to the top-gailant yard. still
standing. and the heavy pulling of the
foretop-mast staysail.
Dreading the consequences that
might follow the loss of this sail,
called to the steward at the top of my
voice, and ON his ttfusting his head up

Cornish and the boatswain, and send
them on deck.

PETTY VANDALISM.
Defacement of the Yellowstone Geysers by
Shallow Minded Visitors.

DETACHMENT of the Yellowstone Geysers by
Shallow Minded Visitors.
1t is 4 pity that the wonderful nat,,.
raj attractions of the Yellowstone Ma
tional Park can not be preserved from
vandal hands for future generations.
From the report of Captain Moses Har.
ris to the Secretary of the Interior. ii
would seem that the geysers of the Vel.
lowstone. as well as the game, needs
protection.
ut is apparent from the most casual
observation that the means heretofore
employed for the preservation of the
natural objects of wonder and beauty
in the Park have been entirely made.
quate. 1t may be said without exag.
geratiOn that not one of the notable
gcyser formations in the Park has
escaped mutilation or DETACHMENT in
some form. Those that have been most
fortunate are covered with lead-pencil
inscriptions, recording the names Of
those shallow-minded visitors to whom
such distinction is pleasure. A
lead pencil mark seems to be a
very harmless DETACHMENT, but names
bearing date of 1880 are still dis
covcrable through the thin deposit
of silica, and if this marking
should go On unchecked. in a very
few years these once beautiful forma.
tons will have become unsightly and
unattractive objects. At the Upper
Geyser Basin, names with date of June,
1886, have been chiseled into the solid
geyserite so deep, that, in the slow pro-
cess of nature. many years must elapse
before this mutilatiOn will be obliter.
ated. Not content with the deface-
ment of the formations, efforts are con-
stantly being made to destroy the
geysers themselves. by throwing into
them sticks, logs of wood and all sorts
of distractions. The eruptive force Of
several of the geysers has been totally
destroyed by vandalism of this charan-
ter. The footsteps of the throngs Of
visitors are wearing away the deli
cate, and lace-like tracery of the sili-
cious deposits. and in 4 few years the
formations surrounding the geysers
will present the appearance of the worn
pavements of q city street. The willful
DETACHMENT of the beautiful objects can
only be prevented by watchful super
vision. supported by the rigid enforce
ment Of lawful penalties. A certain
amount of wear and deterioration, incl
dent to the multitude of visitors, is
probably unavoidable. Golden Rule.

Moving the Freight.

Mr.. Williamson Dunn exerted him
self to the utmost to get the delayed
freight of the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe company on the move. and
now his efforts are being repaid in II
most successful manner. One week

Crosier, the company's contracting
agent, 10 Albuquerque, N. NJ, with
orders TO stay there until he accom-
plished something satisfactory. Yes

Mr.. Dunn that he had gotten as far
back as Coolidge, N. NJ, where had
found about fifty cars III the yards,
lie got all the cars ia Albuquerque
safely on the road, and yesterday

where he has been delegate TO the
meeting OF railroad freight and pas
sen ger agents, who met to form an
association Of ali transcontinental
lines.
In an interview With the HERALD $
representative, Mr. Wilkens said:
at is s'entirrly unnecessary that
should State in detail what was done
at the meeting. That has all been
thoroughly aired in the newspapers.
1t is sufficient to say that all who at
tended the meeting were unanimous
in their desire to form the a-rociAtion
and it was formed, though it took two
months time aud Il change ef quar-

The Superintendent of the Southern

last spike will be driven by Mr..
Charles 7. Crocier, Vice-President
OF the Southern Pacific System
Wires running north to Portland and
south to Sacramento and San Fran
cisco will be connected with the ham
mer, and the time of blows
will be announced by
the firing OF guns, tinkllng OF bells,
etc. All towns along the coast that
desire new wires will be granted the
privilege. The driving will consist OF
three blows on the spike, the flows
occurring at intervals of ten seconds,
each blow closing the telegraphic
circuit. After each blow is received
at the various points, the telegraphic
managers W Il acknowledge the fact,
and after the third tap the word
"done," will be sent, and the great
northern coast railroad will be COM

THE PAPER CARNIVAL.
: asst %ight's Iuter' aiument II
Grand Success.

/
/ The fourth night of the gr nd paper
carnival was eaqually us entertaining
and successful as those Of the provi
GUS evenings. A large and enthusi
astic au liencc complet ly flied the
ent re building, even the third gal
lery being crowded with people. Tue
success oil the carnival has certainly
been thus far most remarkable, anu
what is more, there is not the slight
est sign of wearinc-s upon the parts
OF those who have been visiting the
Pavilion every night. They seem IL
enjoy looking at everything just as
inuch as do the newcomers.
The programme last night was a
p rticularly interesting one, and
elected continuous applause.
The effect Of the brilliant arch
lights upon the grand march adds
additional beauty 10 the scene, which,
however, hardly needs any such aid
to its attrac iveness, for too much
care and skill has been used in
making it perfect. The Grer ian
tableau was u particularly attractive
number on the programme. and the
many ladies' who took Il part in it
deserve the thanks OF every one
present.
The Floral Tableau was another
excellent production, on which too
much praise cannot be bestowed.
The scarf dance, by Miss Ruthie
Green, went to show how entertaining
one young lady could prove 10
thousands OF people at IL single time:
Part second of the programme
opened with banner dance, which
was followed by a tableau represent
ing camp scene, a surprise by the
enemy and the defence.
The entertainment was concluded
with a minuet dance by the following
children: Misses Ruth Green, Racine
Cohn, Aimee Cohn, Jessie Norton,
Lille Germain, Millie Richards,
Pauline Joseph and Julia Joseph.
The programme for tonight prom
ises to be more entertaining than
usual, and will be oppended that
visitors may know beforehand ahat
they will see.
